Traxxas Mini Maxx

[Riot]

Anyone pick up the newer Mini Maxx? I see the reviews are pretty mixed. I am considering grabbing a Maxx because my buddy just grabbed the Arrma Granite, but at that 1/10 scale truck size, they just feel like a lot. (And I used to own an Xmaxx). I'm thinking as much as Id like to bash around w/ my friend(s), the Minimaxx could be fun to throw in my truck and take on camping trips and whatnot... The Maxx feels like it would just be too fast and too in any sort of camping scenario.

Any experience with any of 'em? thoughts?

Been looking at rc cars for months now… think I’ll end up with Tekno.

Nothing to add but I’m glad someone else is obsessing over toys with me tho 😂

You're not alone, I love r/c, but definitely don't dabble in the high end. I picked up a Bezgar off Amazon and was amazed at how well it was actually put together and it's durability so far. Their customer service was actually good too

ive got a mini revo with the stock brushless and that little thing is a beast, pair it up with even a single LiPo and it hauls ass and is a capable climber/crawler. Ive have a full size Tmaxx in the past when the .15 was the only option and even that thing was a beast of a machine for its powerplant. I loaned the Tmaxx to a friend when he was going through some shit and he fuckin sold it for drug money. that was a hard lesson to learn for me at the time considering my poor financial decisions and the amount of time it took me to save for it. FWIW, I used to bag on traxxas all the time when I didnt know any better and for some reason was an HPI fan boy. at any rate ive seen the Tmaxx take hits on hits on hits that wouldve devastated my MT4 or nitro rally.

I just bought a Traxxas slash kit (non rtr) along with a few cheap upgrades. I wanted to get into racing and there’s two venues here within two hours that do stock slash racing (and allow just a few durability upgrades).

Ill post pics once I get it assembled, will be my first body I have to paint as well.

I’m super stoked, if I get into the racing thing this summer I’m sure I’ll have a Tekno or something next year. This was $330 all in with batteries so just a hair cheaper than a race kit haha

I ended up biting the bullet on the Mini Maxx. It’s a dope little truck. It’s compact as hell, but feels very durable. It goes fast enough in 2s for anything you’d need outside of a giant field…

We’ll see how testing goes.

Pic is of my Slash alive it’s an absolute monster. Carbon fiber frame, upgraded motor/esc… can’t even control it on 3s. Too fast. I didn’t built its alls I did was get and paint the body. Lol. #BoughtNotBuilt

it came out great man. How did you do the gray lines? masking tape?

[Riot]

Yeah, just some white paint and tape. Sprayed the whole thing white, then taped it and sprayed it all pink. Nothing too fancy. Haha

[alive]

Heck yeah, post a little video of the mini if ya get a chance!

dano_____ my friend also recommended me the Bezgar for someone starting out or kids. Amazon has a lightning deal right now for the 1:12. It’s $85 For kids, especially, that’s an amazing deal. I just ordered it.
